Not a run, but a dream of one….

Am about to head out for a morning run, but in my dreams I already had one….

… or almost, that is. In my run I was at a busy Parkrun site, near a beach, with many VW vanlife vans with drying swimming gear lining the sandy road.

And at 5min to 9am, I was still trying to find where I put my socks, wondering if I should run in my very colourful running shoes bare feet.

Last thing I remember before waking up was walking up to the front of the queue to where the run had already started.

5k here I go, even if just in my dreams!

...and you also dreamt of running that 5k parkrun in 16.16 which was the quickest time for the first runner at the parkrun I was at last Saturday.🏃

😂😂😅 … indeed I did! 🤣🤣

Amazing, those times! I just got back from my 30 min run but nowhere near 5k!!

LOL, of course, around my arm as an elastic wristband, just like in real life! (Even never having gone to a in-person parkrun, I have been prepared since lockdowns! And the wristband is also handy with hubby’s phone number and my allergies. So I wear it on every run! Even in my dreams, it seems!)

I love how you’re still sorted with your running info band…even if you aren’t wearing sock!

Thinking about it, when I wake up, I often have mystery steps on my watch… maybe I’m also running in my dreams!

LOL 😂 (well, you know what they say! Even thinking of using your muscles will exercise them! Dream your way to athletic fitness! 😂)

Ooops… now what happens if I started dreaming every single day about running? No recovery days!!! 😱😱😱 I need to start dreaming about recovery days! Dream about sleeping! 😴🤣🤣

Sleep is definitely a dream of mine - a distant fantasy, unfortunately!

As dreams go, I think you can count yourself lucky it was only your socks you were missing 😁
